The environment of the house has a profound effect on the child's thinking, feelings and habits. When there is intimacy, love, and trust in the house, the child shares his small and big things with the parents without fear. But many times parents unknowingly adopt some such habits, which gradually force the child to remain silent and hide his feelings. Due to this, children remain less emotionally connected at home and often open up to outsiders, who do not always show the right direction. Let us know about 5 such common mistakes that force the child to hide things.

1. Getting angry repeatedly over small things

When a child makes a small mistake and the parents immediately start showing anger or scolding, the child gradually starts getting scared. He feels that if he shares his matter at home, he will be punished or scolded. Over time, this fear turns into a habit of hiding his feelings and not sharing things. In such a situation, it is important that parents explain with patience and love instead of getting angry at every mistake.

2. Ignoring what children say

Sometimes children share their problems or experiences, but parents ignore them or make fun of them. This makes the child feel that their thoughts and feelings are not important. Gradually, the child stops sharing his feelings at home and learns to remain silent.

3. Comparing with others

Parents often compare children with others—“Look how good he is,” or “You are less than him.” Such comparisons hurt children’s self-confidence. They start feeling inferior and think that the family does not understand their thoughts or feelings. In such situations, children start hiding their thoughts and slowly start distancing themselves from the family.

4. Excessive control over children

If parents dominate every decision and keep an eye on everything the children do, then the children feel tied up. They start hiding their thoughts out of fear of losing their freedom. Whereas if children are given an open environment and a little freedom, they share their thoughts and feelings without fear.

5. Not trusting children's words

Some parents have such a nature that they doubt the child's words or taunt them for lying. This makes the child afraid of being judged, and gradually they stop talking to their parents. Especially on those issues where they feel that their feelings will not be understood.

Due to these small mistakes, children can get emotionally distant from their parents. Therefore, parents must maintain patience, trust and closeness, so that children can share their thoughts openly.
